Bel and the Dragon 11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ And the priests of Bel said, Lo! We shall go out, and thou, king, set (forth) (the) meats, and meddle (or mix) (the) wine, and close thou the door, and aseal it with thy ring. [And priests of Bel said, Lo! We shall go out, and thou, king, put meats, and mingle wine, and shut the door, and seal it with thy ring.]

¹² And when thou comest (in) early, if thou findest not all things eaten of (or by) Bel, we shall die by death, either Daniel shall die, that lied against us. [And when thou shalt come in early, no but thou shalt find all things eaten of Bel, by death we shall die, or Daniel, that lied against us.]

¹³ Soothly they trusted, for they had made a privy entering under the board (or And they were confident, for they had made a secret entrance under the table), and by it they entered ever (or repeatedly), and devoured those things. [Forsooth they despised, or set at nought, (or thought nothing of it), for they had made an hid entering (or a hidden entrance) under the board, and thereby they entered (for)evermore, and devoured those things.]
